[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 171493, member: 27"] No, but I'd love to see Hanna attempt to 'mother' RK...her lectures about doing the "righteous" thing fall on Benny's deaf ears, so she might take on RK as a "pet project", and he might actually want some sort of mother figure. She had a[I] few minutes[/I] of that with Melissa before she decided to take a header off the roof. The writers keep passing RK off to other characters to interact with, so maybe it'll be Hanna's turn. I'm assuming the story Veronica told David beside the pool (saying Jeffery's father was some employee of David's who was actually bisexual) was just that--a story, which she made up to test David to see if he was genuinely trying to reconcile with her. We can say both of them failed the test. o_O If they were to stick with that story, however, it doesn't really explain her being so homophobic. She only had that affair because she felt neglected; she didn't really "love" the guy she slept with, so his so-called betrayal would not have scarred her that much. I think some people are just wired to be that way, and they ought to just stick with her homophobia just being a part of her personality alongside her other negative traits (of which there are many). I don't think the show wants to explore the depths of her depravity simply because they're having too much fun with her acting out that depravity.
